Ireland Baldwin No Longer a 'Little Pig,' Signs With IMG

Ireland Baldwin, pretty, tall, blonde daughter of Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin, has been signed to top New York modeling agency IMG, as well at LA-based agency Two Management.

Baldwin herself shared the news on Twitter, where she is quite prolific and does not shy away from selfies like this one. "Officially working for @TwoManagement and @IMGmodels ! I'm blessed, happy, and ready to WEEEEERK," she wrote last week.

The 17-year-old follows in her mother's footsteps--Basinger was a model before becoming an Oscar-winning actress. Baldwin has also been described as an "aspiring actress," so perhaps she'll continue down the same path. She recently illustrated her admiration for her mom in a Tweet:

Mom, you still look like you're 17 and it's kind of embarrassing standing next to you. Hopefully someday I will adopt your cheekbones and your overall beauty…Inside and out.

Aw. Baldwin's new endeavors should also help the public associate her with something other than that infamous voicemail in which her father called her, at age 11, "a rude, thoughtless, little pig."

Maybe Ireland Baldwin is still holding a grudge against her dad, Alec Baldwin, for that infamous angry voicemail.
The budding model, who recently signed with IMG, has chosen to do her first professional photo shoot for the New York Post--a paper with which Baldwin had a very public, and very heated, disagreement this past February (he allegedly called a Post paparazzo "a racial epithet, a "crackhead" and a "drug dealer.")

17-year-old aspiring model Ireland Baldwin--daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger (though she doesn't really want to be known as that)--took to her personal Tumblr account yesterday to clear up some misconceptions about her career, her family, and society's ongoing war on young women's self esteem.
While having famous parents undoubtedly has its perks, as Baldwin's open letter makes clear, there are some serious pitfalls. And one of them, according to Baldwin, is getting compared to your famously beautiful mother.
